DETROIT INS TITUTE
ASIST I L EVENT'
e es Acts, Including Russian
Orchestra, Mexican Dancing
Girls, for Program.
Through the courtesy of the In-
ternatiLonal Institute. of Detroit, a
branch of the Young Women's
Christian association, the profes-
sional' acts have been obtained for
the eighth annual International
Night program to be presented at.
8:15 o'clock Tuesday in Hill audi-
torium.
These acts include the famous
Russian Balalaika orchestra, two
Mexican dancing girls from the
exclusive Chapultapec club in De-
troit, and a troupe of Roumanian
girls who will present someof the
folk songs and dances of their na-
tive country.
The Institute is under the direc-
tion of Mrs. W. R. Alvord, promi-
nent Detroit clubwoman and former
president of the Michigan Women's
clubs. She is executive secretary of
the organization and Elizabeth
Campbell is Educationa- secretary.
The unit was founded originally
as a service bureau for the foreign
speaking women of Detroit. It was
sought by this group to provide
means of proper communication,
especially in the work of securing
employment, with the citizens of
Detroit.
Since that time, the organization
has grown and has beicome a social
center, not only for the women but
also for the men of Detroit's foreign
population. The great demandfor
the services of the unit have
brought forward the possibility that
it may be made an independent or-
ganization in the near future.
For the past three years, the In-
stitute has provided through the
foreign groups in Detroit, supple-
mentary talent for the Internation-
al Night programs.

was in the setting of a festival,
owed much of its color and interest
to women performers. Ukranian
dancing women, a Hawaiian hula,
danced as it is danced on the shores
of Waikiki, the Armenian home
scene, and the Japanese geisha girls
all contributed their share to the
entertainment.
In this year's program, 20 of the
60 actor participants are women
while fully half of the committee'
under whose direction the presen-
tation is being staged are women.
The Roumanian and Japanese acts
are almost entirely by women and
the Japanese act was designed by
Kimi Ashino, Grad.
Some of the women who will take
part in these productions come
from the foreign centers in Detroit
and have more than amateur rating
as performers. The club is also in-
debted to women through the
Young Women's Christian associa-
tion for obtaining these acts from
Detroit. Elizabeth Campbell, edu-
cational secretary of the Interna-
tional Institute, and Mrs. W. R. Al-
vord, executive secretary of the
unit, have been important factors
in securing this outside talent.
